Still at the V&A: the stony profile and flying ribbons of 28 year old Francesco Cinzio Benincasa, poet laureate, Hungarian diplomat and humanist. Made probably somewhere near Urbino by an unknown artist in the late 1470s.

Australia gets a #poetlaureate Unless Australian poets get to take part in the ritual sacrifice of the laureate each year to ensure the poetic power infuses the next chosen sacred laureate, I'm not really down for this.

New Labour Government announces establishment of a poet laureate for Australia! Finally and wonderfully.

@Silvergoatish oh my goodness! I came to the Colne Valley in 2020 and it's amazing. Slawit and Marsden are booming creative hubs, there's a genuinely cooperative spirit and there's a heart of care for each other (and the place they live). Take all this love, and put it in the beauty of the South Pennines: then you've got a hugely desirable place to live. #PoetLaureate #SMBMS #Slaithwaite #Marsden @southpenninespark

Wonderful to hear Simon Armitage describing his walk from Marsden on BBC Radio 4 this morning. His love for West Yorkshire soaks every word, which sharpens his gentle criticism of the abandonment of historic architecture... 'decaying into eyesore' #poetry #Poetlaureate #radio4today
